Discover the unknown and explore the many facets of essential tremor at the IETF’s free, first-ever ET Expo. On Feb. 21, 2015, ET patients and their family and friends from across the nation will join together to get a first-hand look at the ins and outs of essential tremor.

To build on the current educational seminar series platform, the IETF is expanding on these events to include a more comprehensive approach to meet the needs of patients in all aspects of ET in a new, dynamic setting. The first pilot for the expo format will be tested in Phoenix, AZ. If successful, ET expos will be strategically planned for different regions throughout the year.

“This type of event is new and exciting for us! We hope it sets a precedent for many larger, full-scale events to come in the future for our ET patients all throughout the country,” IETF Executive Director Catherine Rice said.

The IETF has teamed-up with world-class neurologists, movement disorders specialists and experts to host a day of discovery and education at this interactive expo. The day will feature presentations by doctors on the diagnostic process, treatment options, current research, coping tips and more. Hear from experts during a panel Q&A discussion following the presentations. Interactive exhibits from IETF partners will allow precipitants to get a hands-on approach to learning more about their condition and the resources available.

“The ET Expo isn’t just your ordinary health seminar. This is something that’s never been done before in the ET community. It’s destined to have a profound impact on our members while furthering the IETF’s mission,” Catherine said.

The ET Expo will take place at the Hyatt Regency Phoenix from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. This expo is free, but pre-registration is required. Lunch will be provided and choices can be selected at registration.
